I recently wrote about an It Gets Better video made by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh. I criticized her for being all talk and no action on gay rights and after posting that blog to Twitter with an #auspol tag found that soon after @TheQldPremier started following me. All I can say is I am glad to see she is now supporting civil unions for same-sex couples. Although I disagree with the principle of dividing society by saying heterosexuals get marriage and homosexuals get civil unions, when in fact they both afford the same legal rights anyway, I think this is a good start.
Please go to andrewfrasermp.net and follow the link to sign his petition for civil unions, as it was Andrew who presented the bill to the House. You can also email John Mickel at
logan@parliament.qld.gov.au to tell him why we should have civil unions. As Speaker, Mickel may have the casting vote for the civil unions bill and has said he would vote against it as he thinks
no-one cares that a large minority of our population is discriminated against by bigots like himself. He didn't actually refer to himself as a bigot but I think it was implied.
